RUN Mode and PROGRAM Mode
SITRANS Probe LR has two modes of operation: RUN and PROGRAM.
After you complete the installation procedures and power up SITRANS Probe LR, it starts in
RUN mode and detects the material level. It returns the distance (in meters) to the material
level referenced from Empty (process empty level). This is the default start-up display mode.
RUN Mode Display
Use the hand programmer to control the display.
If the echo confidence drops below the echo confidence threshold, the failsafe timer starts
running. When the timer expires, the letters LOE (Loss of Echo) alternate with the reading
every two seconds, and the Reliable Echo indicator is replaced by the Unreliable indicator.
When a valid reading is received, the level reading display returns to normal operation.
PROGRAM Mode Display
Programming
• Set parameters to suit your specific application.
•ActivatePROGRAM mode at any time, to change parameter values and set operating
conditions.
• For local programming, use the Siemens hand programmer.
• For programming from a distance, use either a PC running SIMATIC1PDM or a HART
handheld communicator.
1 – Primary Reading (displays level, distance, or volume, in either units or percent)
2 – Secondary Reading (displays Parameter number for Auxiliary Reading)
3 – Echo status indicator: Reliable Echo or Unreliable Echo
4 – Units or Percent
5 – Active bar graph represents material level
6 – Auxiliary Reading (depending on the parameter selected, it displays milliAmp value,
distance, or echo confidence, with units where applicable)
Note: Do not use the handheld programmer at the same time as SIMATIC PDM, or erratic
operation may result.

English
If SITRANS Probe LR displays an incorrect full level, or if the reading fluctuates between a
false high level and a correct level, use P838 and P837 together to prevent false echo
detection. They elevate the TVT in this region and de-sensitize the receiver from any ‘base
noise’ caused by internal antenna reflections, nozzle echoes, or other vessel false echoes1.
P838 sets the distance within which SITRANS Probe LR will learn a new echo profile. P837
instructs the Probe LR to learn the echo profile at that moment, and use the learned profile
instead of the default TVT curve.
a. Perform this function when the vessel is empty or nearly empty.
b. First rotate the instrument for best signal (lowest false echo amplitude).
c. Determine the distance from the reference point to the material level, and subtract 0.5 m
(1.6 ft).
d. Select P838 and key in [distance to liquid level minus 0.5 m/1.6 ft ], and press ENTER .
e. Select P837, then press 2 (Learn) and ENTER . P837 will automatically revert to 1(use
Learned TVT) after a few seconds.
9. Return to RUN
Press PROGRAM to return to RUN mode: setup is complete.
